Compromised Website Led to Australia Parliament Hack

Australian Parliaments computer network was compromised in January after politicians browsed a legitimate website that was compromised. The Senate president of the Senate revealed the style of attack, which hadnt been discussed before, on Thursday during a hearing of the Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee. In February, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said a “sophisticated state actor” widely speculated to be China, was likely behind a breach of Parliament’s network. Australia has suffered several government intrusions that had hallmarks that separated the incidents from hackers or cybercriminals.”]
